Delhi Court Extends Judicial Custody of Manish Sisodia and K Kavitha in CBI Excise Policy Scam Case

A Delhi court on Friday extended the judicial custody of Aam Aadmi Party leader and former Deputy Chief Minister of Delhi, Manish Sisodia, and Bharat Rashtra Samithi leader K Kavitha until July 31 in connection with the CBI case related to the alleged excise policy scam.

The decision follows a prior extension of their custody in a money laundering case related to the same issue. Both Sisodia and Kavitha were presented in court via video conference as their previous judicial custody period concluded today.

This development came after the Delhi High Court denied bail to Kavitha, who, according to the Enforcement Directorate (ED), is one of the principal conspirators behind the now-defunct Delhi Excise Policy 2021-22.
